Jackpot!



After Thanksgiving dinner, we all get excited to play a very rousing game of Left Right Center.  Everyone has three dollars, and takes turns rolling the dice.  The money moves all around the circle, and eventually ends up in the center pot.  The last person with a dollar wins the jackpot.  All the kids were super excited to play the game.  We all cheer and chant for who we want to win (or lose).  Peter and Lizzy were feeling very big and right in the thick of things.  Peter, of course, was wearing his poker face the whole game, and very seriously rolling his dice and sorting his money.  With a little help from Auntie Elizabeth, Peter ended up the big winner of the night!  The littlest guy there won the jackpot- almost $60!  We were all dying with laughter, but Peter still kept it calm and collected.  The next day, Lizzy and Peter counted up the winnings, and added it to their savings.  They decided to pool their resources and cash it in to buy a Lego garage.  What fun!  I love that Peter was the big winner, and I can tell that he was pretty happy with himself too.
